Sign o' the times

First and foremost - I need to correct a URL from a previous post. The Sims 3 homelessness blog is actually aliceandkev.wordpress.com, not blogspot. It's very good, so be sure to check it out!

The other day, I got an e-mail at work about a company in our building that went bankrupt and was giving away their remaining furniture for free. "Awesome!" I thought, "Maybe I can get a desk for nothing!" A bunch of us went to the office to check it out, and I'm thinking it was one of the smaller companies in the building, but in actuality, it was a company that took up 2 (maybe 3) floors. Walking around there, we saw their old kitchens, editing rooms, meeting rooms, and offices (every person had an office! jealous!). Bizarre antler chandeliers, cool modern art, and unique wall art in each office. Then. . .while scavenging through what was left, it hit me. . .all of those offices were once filled with people. All of those people are now jobless. They once walked into their swank office for the first time, excited to work in such a vibrant place, and now. . .who knows where they are or what they're doing. As I left, I looked at the door and saw the eviction notice from the building. They owed $173k+ in rent. Wow. It made me wonder how quickly the business went under, and if the people who worked there had any idea things were so bad.

Anyway, hopefully things will get better and no more swank office will have to go empty. With weird mismatched art. . .and furniture that won't fit in my apt. damn.
